In-N-Out burgers coming to Dallas

[Dan Thompson]

I live in Irvine, CA, home to In-N-Out bergers. So when I saw a news headline on the nternet saying they were going to build a regional office in Dallas, this means all In-N-Out locations will be within one days drive as all the items are fresh and not frozen.

I thought OKC would be the location for more than one.

If you have never had one, they are all made while you wait, so sometimes it can take a while. But a good way to start your new experience is with a "Double Double".

[Turd_Ferguson]

Where's the popcorn smiley? This might get ugly...

[yermom]

With them based in Dallas, they can expand out to Austin, Houston and OKC pretty easily

Never had one, but how do they compare to local joints like S&B who also makes while you wait.

Or if the "while you wait" thing is a big deal, I think Sonic and Whataburger do that too.

Another fast food chain. I'm ambivalent.

[RacerX]

Had my first after the OU/* game. It was right off the LBJ near the Crown Plaza Suites in Addison.

Good burger.

[AlbqSooner]

Had them in Vegas. They don't taste like a burger chain burger.

[Boomer.....]

I tried to go to the one in Vegas but it was too far to walk and there wasn't sidewalks leading to it. We didn't feel like taking a $20 cab ride for a $10 meal.

Sure beat the hell outta Johnnie's Chawcowl Bwoilah. Then again, so does pretty much any burger.

I'll grant you that, but there are plenty of local places which > In & Out.

Irma's or S&B come immediately to mind. Or Tucker's if you're into onion burgers.

[soonerbrat]

MMM...Irma's

In N out....overrated. I like their fries though.

[C&CDean]

I don't know what S&B is.

Personally, I prefer the burgers from the little convenience store/gas stations/greasy spoons that cover the Oklahoma landscape. There's a Conoco on Highway 39 not too far from the house that makes a good burger. For about $3. Not the best burger ever, but better than any fast food burger with the possible exception of Whataburger (who really do make a tasty burger).

[soonerbrat]

MMM...Whataburger. those are actually my favorite plus they are open 24 hours.

[Midtowner]

MMM...Irma's

In N out....overrated. I like their fries though.

Tucker's fries are amazing. They taste a lot like the ones at Mutt's (a hot dog stand), which are fried in duck fat.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I'm not really a fan of chains. I liked 5 Guys pretty well though. Here are my top places for burgers in the OKC area.

Tucker's - great onion burgers with fresh jalapenos and amazing bread. The meat isn't all greasy like most onion burgers. Their fries are ok, but cut a little too thin.
VZD's - love their burgers but only at lunch. Great onion rings w/ a touch of cayenne. Also like their fries. Thank you SF.com for introducing me!
Irma's - I like Irma's NoName burger

I still haven't been to Nic's. They are on my list to try.

[sooneron]

In n Out are overrated, imo. Good, but not that good. I like 5 guys better. I thought one opened in Dallas earlier this year, there was a video of the opening and some sappy SoCal transplant was weeping. It was really pathetic.

Lol. The last line in that article. I would rather live anywhere but either of those two states....and I mean anywhere....

[Lott's Bandana]

Whataburger > In-n-Out

[Pricetag]

Whataburger is to me as McDonald's is to my son. I will pick it every time, if limited to fast food.

[C&CDean]

Sooner04 would have a tear in his eye hearing all this Whataburger love.

I get the double cheese, with everything, plus jalapenos. Pretty effing good.

[Lott's Bandana]

Dammit. Off I go...

[sooneron]

This thread made me seek out a boigah for lunch. It too, was better than in n out. Mmmmmm, SMASHBURGER!!!!

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

This thread made me seek out a boigah for lunch. It too, was better than in n out. Mmmmmm, SMASHBURGER!!!!We had an office lunch at Ann's Chicken Fry.

[Dan Thompson]

And then there is the secret menu. Like root beer float, extra crispy bun, extra crispy fries, fries covered with chesse, also add chilli, plus much more.

Google In-N-Out secret menu to see the rest of the menu.

BTW, I don't work there, I'm retired.

[C&CDean]

Just came home from a burger at Abner's on burger night. $3 for a 1/2 pounder with fries. How can you go wrong?

[Peach Fuzz]

haven't eaten fast food for 8 months... would change that for In-n-Out in a heartbeat

He's the one that recommended taco Casa to me too... He has good taste in fast food

[NormanPride]

I miss 04.

[Midtowner]

I don't know what S&B is.

Next time you're in North OKC, look 'em up.

The only redeeming thing above fast food places with regard to our local burger joints is the drive through window.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

My in-laws flew in from Guadalajara this weekend and the first food request they had was an in-n-out burger. We have one about a mile down the road.

Yeah, but they're messicans. WTF do they know about food...?

Well, when it comes to burgers, you're right. I had a hamburger a couple of years ago in Patzcuaro, Michoacan -- a resort town that is filled with lots of retired gringos. They have a burger place, Cafeteria Chios, that the gringos go to when they get a burger craving.

It was surprisingly good. Basically the same as many U.S. burgers except jalapenos instead of pickles.

[C&CDean]

Hamberguesa con queso y jalapenos. Yum yum.

I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal in Mexico. Never. Of course the only places I've eaten down there are in Baja Sur and Sonora so my experience is limited.

[XingTheRubicon]

number of people who think whataburger > InandOut...- 847 hayseeds from the hinterlands of Oklahoma and Texas.

number of people InandOut > whataburger...- rest of Earth.

[yermom]

the green chile cheeseburger Whataburger had for a while recently was greatness

Who you calling a hayseed, hayseed? BTW, when can I get you your metal detector back?

[OklaPony]

FYI - Five Guys is now open for biz in Norman. Picked up dinner there last night. Good stuff...

Donde esta?

[XingTheRubicon]

I should be down there next week. I'll PM you.

and I didn't see your burger preference anywhere in this thread...projecting?

[C&CDean]

My preference is the onion/jalapeno/green chile burgers we make at the house. Ground chuck, chopped onion, japs/chiles all mixed into it, then grilled and topped with swiss cheese and more jalapenos.

I've never had an In and Outie so I can't make a call on them, but fast food wise, I'd take a Whataburger over any of the other chains.

Holler at me when you're coming this way.

[XingTheRubicon]

will do.


Ok, now I'm starving

[yermom]

Donde esta?

across from Target

and if you are in Dallas or Tulsa sometime Burger Street is still my pick for fast food burgers

[OklaPony]

Yep, what yermom said. Across from Super Target on 24th St.
